On a related topic, when this TRAP-TYPE MIB object is sent in a trap, is the manager (or agent) expected to perform validation that the variable bindings in the trap conform to the MIB definition ?
I ask this because I'm noticing that I can send and receive (using net-snmp) any variable bindings in the trap even though the VARIABLES clause in the MIB does not include those MIB objects.
Thanks.

No.
The TRAP-TYPE and NOTIFICATION-TYPE definitions require you
to specify the full list of MIB objects that should appear
in this particular notification.
They don't try to do anything clever, like expanding the
contents of the table. This is the *Simple* Network
Management Protocol, remember.
